Question Billionton CF Card

Hi! I installed the ultimate driver from Billionton and my Axim recognized perfectly the CF card.The problem is this.when i turn on the Axim the "Bluetooth Logo"in the task bar (right down) show a red "x".I must extract and re-insert the CF Card in the slot and so the red "x" disappears and the Bluetooth CF Card begins to flash with the green light.
Why my Axim ,when turned on ,doesn't recognize the Card?
Thanks guys !!!

That's all part of the game...I have the same problem with my wifi card sometimes, although, I've never had to remove the card, just do a soft reset and everything usually works.

Nope, but I suspect it's something to do with how the Axim (or any PPC) goes into suspect mode, in suspend mode everything is saved in the state it was when it is sent into that mode, but, as far as the hardware (the CF card) is concerned, it's just lost connection to the device.

When you come back out of suspend, I think the software expects the hardware to say "hey, everything back as it was when you went into suspect mode, how you doin?" but the hardware is saying "where the hell did you go, in fact, who the hell are you?".

Just my simple understanding..a soft reset always fixes it.
